The American general said he would return to China following further conferences with Brereton and officers at British general headquarters. He said he was eager to rejoin the Chinese and aid in the campaign against the

GEN. STILWELL DESCRIBED his journey from Burma as more monotonous than exciting. From his Burma headquarters, the lean, tanned general walked for 12 days along jungle trails. He spent two days floating on a raft down the Chindwin river and several days bumping over primitive roads in trucks. He entrained for New Delhi from Imphal, in ~ Assam state. ’ ; . Gen.

. NEW DELHI, India, May 25.—Lieut. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, American commander of Chinese forces in Burma, said today that a “properly organized” united nations force could throw the Japanese out of Burma. Accompanied by four American officers stationed -in India, Gen. Stilwell arrived in New Delhi late yesterday after a difficult journey across Burmese and Indian mountain and jungle country. : “The Japs aren’t supermen,” -Gen. Stilwell declared. “If we go in there with a properly organized force we can

He admitted that the Chinese and British forces had taken an unqualified drubbing on the Burma front, but expressed confidence that the tide would turn. The Japanese, he said, took Burma with a force of only about 50,000 men, but maintained numerieal superiority throughout the campaign. In addition, he said, the enemy ‘had complete control of the air. » “We have been blind throughout this campaign,” Gen. Stilwell said. “The Japanese have all the components required of good soldiers. They are tough, able to live on meager rations and ready to die. You can’t go up against them with a rag-tag, bobtail collection of troops

A Buenos Aires newspaper interpreted the announcement as indicating the survivors came from the Maryland. Several discrepancies were apparent in the Italian claims. ~ The high command had said that the battleship was escorted by destroyers which did not “react” to the Italian underwater . attack. The Italian ‘version of the survivors did not try to explain why, if the Italian

The Japanese were endeavoring again to ascertain what losses the United States navy and its allies suffered in inflicting a crushing .defeat on Japanese naval forces in the battle of Coral sea. To its previous extravagant claims, thoroughly ‘discounted by official sources in Washington and Australia, it added the claim that an American battleship of the North Carolina class had been considerably damaged and a cruiser of the Portland class had been sunk. It added that the heavy cruiser it had previously claimed as heavily damaged, was qf the Louisville class. ;

LEWIS-MURRAY ROW AT CLIMAX

C.l. 0.-U. M. W. Split May Be Widened at Meeting Of Miners’ Board.

WASHINGTON, May 25 (U. P.). —Differences between President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and C. I. O, President Philip Murray reached a possible showdown today at a special meeting of the U. M. W. executive board and policy committee.

Mr. Murray, who aiso is vice president of the U. M.W.,, attended. Mr. Lewis called the meeting to consider mine production problems, but the dispute threatening a C. I U-U. M. A. split was believed likely to be reviewed. Presence of Mr. Murray was doubtful until he appeared at the mine workers’ building shortly before start of the meeting. His office as C. I. O. president is located in that building, but he seldom has used it since the dispute arose between the U. M. W. and the C. I. O. over $1,665,000 advanced by the miners to C. I. O. unions.

300 Workers Attend

It was the first meeting of the U. M. W. governing bodies since Mr. Murray sharply rebuked Mr. Lewis for unauthorized efforts toward C. I. O.-A. PF. of L. unity last January. The U. M. W, has demanded that the $1,665,000 be considered as a loan and a partial payment made. The C. I. O. executive committee held that the money was a gift. The U. M. W, has withheld per capita dues payments to the C. I. O. amounting to $30,000 a month. More than 300 mine workers from all parts of the country attended the meeting. Mr. Murray mingled with the delegates before the session. Mr. Lewis came in late and

wad accorded a noisy ovation.

It’s one more day nearer to victory.
